5 reasons why you should talk to us

You want to attract investors.

With our Bioenergy Plant Performance Insurance, we enable bioenergy plant owners to optimize their liquidity and financial stability, even in the face of an unexpected production shortfall.

Green Tech Solutions provides tailored solutions that enable your business to transfer risk and embrace growth more readily. Through the support of Munich Re’s strong team of diverse industry experts, bioenergy plant owners can finance projects comprehensively and more cost-efficiently. A strong partnership with Munich Re indicates to potential investors and competitors the quality and sustainability of a plant’s technology and business plan. By streamlining processes and making businesses more transparent, investors can better assess the risks and therefore are more readily willing to invest capital.

You want to protect your investment.

The bioenergy industry is rapidly growing and as plants move forward utilizing new technologies to remain competitive, unpredictability in performance can become a risk factor. We are able to provide confidence during these times by hedging the risk of underperformance of bioenergy plants and tech thus guaranteeing a stable cash flow and investment payback. To reduce adverse effects even further, we also offer our Repair Cover for unexpected maintenance costs to ensure steady output with minimum downtime.

You want to stabilize your revenue streams.

The two major threats to a company’s revenue stream are a shortfall in production and unscheduled repair costs. The Bioenergy Plant Performance Insurance is supported by an expert team that focuses directly on the risk management of both threats.

You want to protect your balance sheet.

The Bioenergy Plant Performance Insurance grants recovery from loss in revenues in low production years thereby ensuring debt obligations and maintaining a plant’s financial stability. In addition, the Repair Cover can further mitigate risks by covering unexpected and unscheduled repair costs.

You want to benefit from our innovative bioenergy insurance.

Every project faces different challenges and risks. The specifics of each project call for bespoke risk solutions. That is why, all our products for bioenergy plants can be adjusted to all involved project parties’ preferred duration of coverage, amount of risk transfer, or even individual insurance budget based on debt service, limits and the extent of coverage. By relying on our technical expertise and our strong financial backing, we are able to deliver flexible insurance structures that meet every individual demand.
